Question:

Find the radius of a circle in which a sector with central angle 45° has area 154 cm2. (Use $π=\frac{22}{7}$)

Options:

$14\sqrt{2}$ cm

14 cm

$7\sqrt{2}$ cm

$\frac{21\sqrt{2}}{2}$ cm

Correct Answer:

$14\sqrt{2}$ cm

Explanation:

Area of a circle = 154 cm2

Central angle = 45o

According to the question,

Area of a circle = \(\frac{θ}{360}\) × πr2 

= \(\frac{45}{360}\) × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × r2 = 154

= r2 = 392

r = $14\sqrt{2}$ cm
